Pet Peeve Of The Day: Too Sick To Do Anything!!!

Now this is a great time as any to firstly talk about how we are already 5 months 2 weeks and 3 days into the year already *Mindblown*

This will make some feel a tug of anxiety together with back and forth conversation in their mind similarly to this *profanities included*

"OMG what am I dooooing"?

"Shittt!!!! I haven't even cleaned out my fridge like a promised myself to....in January"

*Deep sigh of regret*

"I need to call my councillor"


and others do a little dance or bogle ( if you like) and rejoice because they are doing everything they need to do (p.s the above person loathes you)

I , on the other hand have just fallen sick after thinking that it was ok to suck the dummy of my sick baby after it was in his mouth leading to my sickness today....

I'm the kinda mum that thinks if we're all sick then we are all sick together and we will persevere and get through this like some titan ass people but then again the other side beleives it's better to be well so that you can better take care of the sick person right? right!


I made a conscious decision to start my business from home two days ago and had all this awesome stuff planned to do over the weekend and then BAM what happens..?

I fall sick, I'm talking DEATH'S DOOR sick....

1. my head feels like it weighs the same as a 13 bowling balls
2. my nose is blocked and I sound like chucky from the Rugrats
3 my sinuses are blocked and swollen causing my ears to feel like they are about to pop
4. throat looking like I swallowed 2 boiled eggs
5. can't sleep to save an elephants life.
6. I just about used 12 rolls of the toilet roll so my nose feels like sandpaper

So the baby is at my mother in laws who is probably more happy to see the baby than to give me the break and I am pushing myself to get work done. So answer me this one question please if you are reading this comment below this post...


Do you work through your sickness?

Or

Do you just allow yourself to be sick and curl up with the blanket and some tea?

Thanks for reading through my mess of embabblement (made up words are a symptom of my sickness, did you really jus google that word? lol)

Easter Ideas :The Baby Edition

5 Ideas For Baby's First Easter 2016

We all love Easter for various reasons for some it marks spring time for ALOT it means who can scoff the most chocolate in one sitting and for many it means spending time with Family, loved ones and kids.

Well what about the babies? Well they won't remember Easter, so what's the point I hear you say.

I have a 3 month old and even though he may not remember much of his first Easter I still want to do something for him so that I can capture some cool photographic memories for him to have a look back on when he's older.

Whether you need ideas for your own bundle of joy, a new baby in the family or a friends baby.

Dress the part

Okay, we know that half the fun of holidays is dressing up your child in a darling three-piece suit or frilly dress, tights and newly buffed Mary Janes. But trying to play in those clothes isn't much fun for baby! Of course we wouldn't dare say to skip it — just take some pictures and video while they are all dressed up, then change them into something more comfortable that they can move around and get messy in. After all, they're babies!

If you are crafty, jazz up a plain white onesie or romper with some Easter cheer. First, cut fun Easter shapes such as eggs, ducks and bunnies out of clean sponges. Next, dip the sponges into pastel paint colors of your choice and "sponge" the onesie. Or, use this as an opportunity to capture your baby's footprints or handprints. First, wash and dry their hands/feet. Then dip them into the pastel paints, and blot excess paint lightly onto a paper towel before pressing their hand or footprint onto the onesie! Make sure you use a non-toxic paint that is made for fabrics. Allow the onesie to dry completely, and then wash it before you try it on your little one.

Bask in the fun

Instead of just buying a pre-made, prepackaged Easter basket at the store, get innovative and personalize one for your baby. Craft stores such as Michaels have great baskets that you can dress up yourself. Purchase some beautiful pastel ribbon to weave through the basket and it's handle. Or cut Easter shapes — such as bunnies, chicks, and eggs — out of pastel colored felt and affix them onto the basket with a hot glue gun. You can also find great little wooden shapes that you can paint and then glue to the basket, if you have the stroke of an artist.

Fill it up!

A beautiful basket is great, but it's what inside that really counts! Customize your baby's Easter basket for his or her specific age. Since this is baby's first Easter, he's under one year old and too young for chocolate eggs, marshmallow peeps and jelly beans that would typically fill an Easter basket. Instead, fill the basket with a soft and cuddly stuffed bunny, duck, chick or lamb, some teething rings, rattles and colourful plastic eggs. Be sure not to fill the plastic eggs with anything — if it can fit inside the egg, it is most likely a choking hazard for your little one at this stage. Babies will love the brightly coloured eggs – even empty!

Hide and seek

A good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt can be modified so infants can join in the fun! Stick with plastic eggs here, since baby may unintentionally smash or bite into the real kind, and could possibly swallow some pieces of shell. Let baby watch you hide the eggs under his blankie or an overturned bucket or in a large bowl. Then help her "find" them by playing peek-a-boo to reveal the hidden eggs. She may enjoy sorting the plastic eggs into piles of like colours or putting them all into, then taking them back out of, a bucket, bowl or Easter basket.

Easter eats

Remember that babies younger than one year old should not have eggs, chocolate, honey and other treats that go hand in hand with Easter. Many Easter candies such as jellybeans and M&Ms are choking hazards and should be kept out of little ones' reach. Once your child is over the age of 1 (and you do not have a history of egg allergies in your family), feel free to let your tot enjoy protein-packed scrambled eggs. Until then, stick to her normal food (she won't know she's missing out on anything) and focus on other fun Easter activities.
